One-of-a-kind Ashford home in an extraordinary country setting! Offering approximately 2,866 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this distinctive home has evolved over the years into a wonderfully flexible floor plan well suited to multigenerational living, working from home or simply spreading out. Character is everywhere, from wide-board wood floors and exposed beams to two fireplaces and a terrific library with extensive built-ins. The spacious kitchen, multiple living areas and combination of first- and second-floor spaces offer possibilities rarely found in a conventional home. Set on 1.71 acres with garage, outbuildings, open yard and wooded surroundings, the setting is equally special. Immediately beyond the property is Joshua's Trust's 60+ acre Josias Byles Sanctuary, with extensive Boy Scouts of America land farther beyond, creating an exceptional backdrop of woods, wildlife and open space. The home is livable now while offering plenty of opportunity for its next owner to make it their own. Refinishing the wood floors, exterior painting and other thoughtful improvements could make a remarkable difference. A truly unusual property for buyers who value space, character, flexibility and nature.
